About the Skyranger

The Skyranger is a British ultralight aircraft manufactured by Pegasus Aviation, one of the UK's leading microlight producers since the 1980s. Originally developed as a weight-shift control (flex-wing) design, the Skyranger family has evolved to include both three-axis control variants and the classic trike configuration, making it popular among recreational pilots seeking affordable, simple flying. The type is certificated under European microlight regulations with a maximum takeoff weight of 450 kg (992 lb), keeping it firmly in the ultralight category where pilots can operate with reduced licensing requirements compared to conventional general aviation aircraft.

Powered by Rotax two-stroke or four-stroke engines in the 80-100 horsepower range, the Skyranger cruises around 55-65 knots with a never-exceed speed of approximately 87 knots. Its low stall speed of roughly 28 knots in landing configuration makes it forgiving for short-field operations and grass strips, while the open cockpit or enclosed cabin variants offer flexibility for different weather conditions and pilot preferences. The type has found a niche in flight training schools across the UK and Europe, where its low operating costs and docile handling characteristics make it an ideal platform for ab-initio microlight instruction.
